Bring Your Own Project: Drawing

Hone your art skills with inspiration from the Arboretum grounds.

Content Detail

Do you want to draw but struggle to find the time to do it? Do you have an art project you can’t seem to finish? Then join us for a BYOP—Bring Your Own Project—session at The Morton Arboretum.

Bring drawing supplies and a desk light to the Arboretum and work independently in a low-pressure, guided environment to hone your skills and make progress on your own projects. Participants are encouraged to bring drawing projects they are struggling with. A professional artist will be available during class sessions to offer suggestions and guidance. Subject matter and prompts are available, but there are no assignments or formal class instruction.
